Description:
The advent of our modern chemical farming era has challenged the health of humans and the planet. We are seeing mass extinction in micro and macro ecosystems across the globe. This lecture demonstrates the mechanisms by which these events are tied to the epidemic of chronic disease that is occurring in the developed world. This lecture intends to expand your concept of health for you and your patients far beyond the human biology as we explore the role of micro-RNA, bacterial nutritional metabolites, and bacterial colonization of the human body in the maintenance of health.

Objectives:
Understand modern agriculture
• Understand the impact of modern agriculture on the microbiome and human health.
Understand bacterial metabolites
• Understand the important role of bacterial metabolites in the maintenance of your gut membrane to protect the human immune system
Understand the relationship of the microbiome and genes
• Develop a new perspective on the relationship between the microbiome's ability to program what your 25,000 genes are doing today
Recognize hallmarks of microbiome deficiency
• Recognize the clinical hallmarks of microbiome deficiency at all stages of life and the implications for the individual and for the human population at large.
